It started Monday when my boss made me put a mask on and stay 7 ft away from everybody else. Then today he asked me when I’m getting the vaccine and I politely said I don’t know (I’m not getting the vaccine). This is actually the second time after this response that he’s responded saying that changes are coming to the company. Almost implying that I’d be fired if I don’t get the shot. I’m highly considering applying for other jobs.

Why tell them your vaccination status at all?

Take a shite on his desk and then quit. Assert your dominance.

It’s becoming very complicated for managers. We currently have 8 people out with Covid, all 8 were not vaccinated. Two of them are in bad shape and getting antibody therapy at OLOL. I’m not sure what the path forward is, but it’s obvious that unvaccinated people are getting sick at a rapid pace right now.

If they are all vaccinated why do they need you to get the shot? Won’t they be fine?

I’d collect unemployment for a year if this douche fires you.

Ask your Democrat boss if it’s FDA approved and what recourse you will have if you die as a result.

Also, you should sue them for a hostile work environment

Don't quit. Get your severance. Make them fire you then sue for wrongful termination.

The first place you screwed up is even answering the question.

It's not anybody else's business whether you've been vaccinated or not.

Unless they have a written policy saying it is a requirement of employment I would decline to comment. It's certainly legal for them to do that (unfortunately) but make them do that and then make your choice.

IMHO I don't believe many companies will be taking the risk to make written policy requiring it as then they have some liability if you have an adverse reaction and then it would even become an OSHA recordable.

Even many healthcare settings do not require it as they know it is a huge can of worms.

If the vaccine works and you have it why do you care? You can always hire more people.

Sounds like you are not actually being threatened at all.

Ignore it.

That's a sure way to get fired on the spot.

They sent out a survey at work asking about vaccination status. I deleted it 3 times like most of my co workers. They say if you haven't had the shot you still have to wear a mask. But they haven't ask for proof. The 2 people out right now were the first to get the vaccines. I'll make them fire me and go from there if it comes to that.

That can get messy.

Bend his wife over the desk and jab her. Assert your dominance that way.
